Dreaming of Freedom

Ok, just like everyone else I have tried everything to control my weight. I am now 42 years old, and 205 lbs. I don't want to live in this body anymore! I want to be slender again, to feel pretty again, to like what I see when I see a photograph of myself. I want my husband and children to know me as an energetic and confident woman.

    Welcome to MyFitnessPal, you're off to a good start. =)

    Part of the journey is recognizing WHY you want to lose weight and it seems like you have a good basis for your beginning. Just be sure to stick with it (good days and the bad) and you'll be able to see yourself shedding pounds in no time.

    Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the welcome! It feels good to be DOING something, instead of just lamenting.
